Socio-Environmental Policy
I choose the socio-environmental policy, because in terms of marketing,labor, human resource, and working capital policy Jollibee can think of the best and excellent way to implement that kind of policy in their company. As a student and has an environmental concerned, I choose this one because as global environment change we need to adjust and save our environment.
Environmental responsibility offers double green benefits. We've long recognized the value of minimizing our environmental footprint. It’s
not only good for the world in which we operate, it’s a strong contributor to our long-term financial success. More than 30 years ago, we initiated energy conservation measures. In 1990, we formally established our Global Environmental Commitment and forged a
groundbreaking alliance with the Environmental Defense Fund. During the 1990s alone, we eliminated 300 million pounds of product packaging by redesigning and reducing materials. Since then, we’ve continued to seek ways to improve our environmental
performance. Efficiency and innovation are natural byproducts of thinking “green.” After all, when we conserve energy, produce less waste and minimize resources used by our suppliers, we use less and spend less. Given our decentralized structure, and the variability of environmental issues across regions, there is no “one size fits all” approach. We see this as a benefit, because we have a virtual laboratory of environmental initiatives across our marketplace that we can learn from, share and scale when it makes sense. Given
the breadth and scope of our business operations, we also need to understand what is most important from a global standpoint. At the restaurant level, we are focused in three areas:
Energy conservation—Find further ways to increase energy efficiency in our restaurants in order to save money and reduce our environmental impacts
Sustainable packaging and waste management—Continue exploring ways to reduce the environmental impacts of our consumer packaging and waste in our restaurant operations
Green building design—Enhance our strict building standards to incorporate further opportunities for environmental efficiencies and innovation in the design
and construction of our restaurants
On all of these priorities, we continue to engage with experts and NGOs like the World Wildlife Fund, Conservation International, Environmental Defense.Green Building Council and similar organizations around the world to get their best thinking on how we can improve our environmental performance.
Energy efficiency is critical to our environmental and financial performance
Climate change is an important issue, generating growing interest from many sectors of society – from individuals and NGOs, to governments and corporations. The seriousness of this issue means
that everyone has a role to play to reducing impacts, including companies like McDonald’s. As a global food service company, we have developed a multifaceted effort focusing on energy
efficiency and sustainability that stretches from our stores to our supply chain. We’re working to reduce the energy consumption in our restaurants, which in turn reduces our environmental impacts
and helps us save money. Jollibee restaurants’ use of electrical energy and natural gas accounts for the bulk of our restaurant greenhouse gas emissions. More efficient use of these resources helps us save money and reduces our environmental impact. Within the restaurant, our two key areas of focus are the heating/cooling systems and the cooking
appliances, which together account for approximately 80% of a typical restaurant’s energy use.
Policy Objective
This policy has a two-fold purpose:
A. Establish an activity framework that integrates the social and environmental
responsibility principles in the Group’s global strategy.
B. Establish the necessary mechanisms to analyse social and environmental risks
and to adopt decisions on granting Project Finance operations.
What is the Environmental Outlook and what is driving it?
In 2020, the world population is expected to reach 7.5 billion, an increase of almost one-quarter compared to the current 6.1 billion, and the urban population of the world is projected to almost double, reaching over 4 billion in 2020. In OECD countries, the population is expected to increase by 11% to 1.25 billion in 2020, accompanied by an ageing of the population. Continued GDP growth is expected in all regions of the world, in a period characterized by globalization with
rapid increases in international trade and cross-border investment. Consumption and production are increasing and a "new economy" is emerging, driven by high growth in the information technology sector. Major technological breakthroughs are expected, which will contribute to
economic development worldwide. Pressures on the environment have been high in the recent past both in OECD regions and
globally, but at the same time, there have been a number of environmental improvements. Economic, social and technological developments over the next few decades are likely to result
in reductions in some pressures on the environment, but will increase others, sometimes significantly. A number of pressures or concerns will need to be urgently addressed by OECD
countries in the first decade of the 21st century, and this Strategy specifies national actions that countries can take to address some of the most pressing issues, the indicators that can be used
to measure progress, and the work OECD can undertake to support its Member countries in these actions.
The OECD Environmental Outlook has identified some "GREEN LIGHTS", signalling recent and projected future environmental improvements for which the current policy approaches in most OECD Member countries appear to be adequate, but which should be monitored carefully. Thus,
in many OECD countries industrial point source pollution is being successfully tackled and there have been significant improvements in the efficiency with which resources and energy are used.
In addition, emissions are declining for some key air pollutants (including CO, SOx and lead), and some of the worst polluted rivers and lakes have been cleaned up. At the same time, "green"
purchasing is gaining ground, the land used for organic agriculture is rapidly expanding (although still small), and the size of protected areas and total forest coverage is also growing in a number
of OECD countries. Other issues have been classified as "YELLOW LIGHTS" in the OECD Environmental Outlook,
signalling uncertainty or potential problems. Effects on human health and ecosystem functions due to toxic emissions from industries are still uncertain and poorly understood, and hazardous waste generation continues to be a problem across the OECD. The full environmental impacts of rapidly expanding aquaculture fish production and plantation forests are yet to be understood. Potential future effects of some technological developments, in particular in the area of
biotechnology, are also uncertain or largely unknown. Furthermore, while significant improvements in energy and transport technologies are foreseen, the efficiency gains from these improvements are expected to be significantly outweighed by the "volume" effects of increasing
total energy use and transportation. Despite achievements in OECD countries in reducing many environmental pressures, the OECD
Environmental Outlook has also identified a number of "RED LIGHT" environmental problems, signalling recent and projected future negative environmental trends which urgently need to be addressed by OECD Member countries. The generation of municipal waste is projected to
continue to increase substantially in OECD countries. Total motor vehicle kilometres travelled are likely to increase by almost 40% in OECD regions to 2020, and air travel is projected to triple
worldwide. As a result of increasing transport and energy use, greenhouse gas emissions are rising and total CO2 emissions are projected to increase by approximately 33% in OECD
countries under present policies, far from the overall Kyoto Protocol target for Annex I countries of a 5% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels before 2008-2012. The effects
of global warming are increasingly evident, and air quality standards in many urban areas will continue to be exceeded in OECD countries, with adverse effects on human health and ecosystems as a result. Agriculture is still a major source of pollution to air, soil and water, and of biodiversity loss. Groundwater pollution is expected to be a major problem facing OECD countries in the future, limiting the availability of clean freshwater. The use of a number of5
renewable natural resources, including fish and tropical forests, have reached environmentally unsustainable levels in many regions, and pressures on biological diversity and ecosystems
continue. For example, the majority of the world's marine fisheries are now fully exploited or overexploited.
These “red lights” have significant economic, financial and social costs, including to human health, which could be avoided through better management of the environment and the pressures on it. Policy options exist which have the potential to decrease pressures and improve
the state of the environment in the future, including cost-effective options and some potential win win opportunities. In order for the OECD countries to successfully address the "red lights", policy implementation gaps need to be closed by fully implementing already agreed policies, designing and putting in place new policies, meeting existing targets and defining time-bound quantitative targets where they do not already exist. OECD could serve to facilitate the development of such
targets and related indicators for selected issues. This Environmental Strategy identifies a number of indicators which can be used to measure progress in implementing the Strategy to 2010.
Sustainable packaging and waste, less is More
Environmental impact is one of five criteria incorporated into Jollibee's process of developing food and beverage packaging. The other four criteria are functionality, cost, availability of materials and impact on operations. From an environmental perspective, we focus on reducing the impact of our packaging and improving waste-management practices. Our approach considers a product’s entire lifecycle: It starts with where we source our materials and the design of our food packaging. Finally, we look at “end of life” options such as recycling and
composting
